What to expect when your course starts

Look out for your welcome email

Shortly before the course starts, you'll receive an email from the course educators with some information about what to expect and how to get started.

Once the course begins, a link to your to-do list will appear in Your Courses. You can access this at any time - you don't have to get started straight away!

Study at any time of day (or night)

Courses are available from midnight on Mondays (00:00 UTC) on the day shown on the course page. Once a course has started, you will be able to access the course material and study at any time that suits you. You don’t need to be online at the same time as the lead educator or other students.

Weeks and activities and steps, oh my!

Our courses are split into weeks. Each week contains several activities, and these are made up of short steps that you can do at a time (and pace) that best suits you. On a few courses educators will schedule an activity which take place at a specific time, but this content will generally remain online afterwards.

Learn online, wherever you are

All of our courses take place on our website. To access your courses:
